It’s not up to us, it’s up to the ~~bribes~~ mega donors keeping people in power. We have relatively little power in this lopsided representative democracy as expendable individuals, unless we manually enact spontaneous change with tremendous funds or decent aim. Forces far larger than either of us are acting upon the world in a way that we couldn’t hope to prevent or upend. That’s just the economic and political system we currently have. Money enacts change. Fox News et al alter perceptions. We live in hell.
